Yeah, how dare PA expect legislators to take some initiative! It must be against the law! I wont bother wasting space discussing how many ways this makes me angry- just read John Baer's Valentine to SEPTA riders.

Threatened by service cuts and fare hikes that would disrupt their lives, thousands of working people, seniors, students and disabled riders spent Valentine's Day huddled in a cold rain to rally for permanent mass transit funding.

A thousand Philadelphia working people boarded buses and a SEPTA train to the rally, including Henry Nicholas, venerable leader of Hospital Workers Union 1199C, who went because "my union is the largest parent in the public school system. Our members have 37,000 school children.

"Seventy-eight percent of our child care, home care and nursing home workers, and 47 percent of our hospital workers, ride public transit to their jobs.

Great comment about the state legislature. Did you ever read the Dr. Seuss tale, "The Zax", where the two creatures meet going opposites ways and both are too stubborn to let the other pass? All the while progress goes on its merry way all around them.That's what I think of everytime I read, hear or think about the GOP leadership in the house and senate.:)
